Incredibly unique experience
There was a meter of fresh snow on the glacier upon our arrival. Such a beautiful and enjoyable way to spend an hour!

Downgrade trip, no refund
I got a phone call from a guy who said they can't do the 45-minute experience due to the weather, but they can do the 25-minute shorter helicopter version, and provide me with a refund. I agreed. I haven't received a refund to this day.

Kia ora, Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your booking (Ref: KZDV25X5381781). We’d like to clarify the situation regarding the downgraded flight and the refund discussed on the day. Your original booking was made at a discounted rate of $249.50 per person. The alternative flight offered due to weather conditions—the Tasman Taster helicopter experience—has a standard retail price of $379 per person. When the alternative 25 min experience was discussed, the intention was to refund the difference only if the amount paid exceeded the cost of the alternative flight. In this case, as the amount you paid ($249.50) was significantly less than the price of the Tasman Taster flight ($379), there was no price difference available to refund. We acknowledge that this was not clearly explained at the time, which understandably led to confusion, and we apologize for that lack of clarity. We hope this clears things up, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to discuss this further or if we can assist with a future booking. Kind regards, Mount Cook Ski Planes and Helicopters
